Summer Cup 2015 Round 2 - Favourites Pull Through

Welcome to Tudor Griffiths, Abe Lanaquera and Daniel Hooper who played their first tournament games at the club last night.

No real upsets in round 2 of the Summer Cup, but plenty of fighting chess. Alan Aldridge gave Anthony Ker a great battle, but lost out in the end. I haven't played through any games yet, apart from my own effort where I was lucky to prevail against Peter Stoeveken in the endgame. Once again, I hope to publish some games later - let me know if you have some annotations you want publishing.

Forster v Rose Revisited

Re yesterday's post on Bill Forster v Nathan Rose - Arthur Pomeroy felt there should be some analysis attached to the interesting position on move 27, so I have added that here. The rest of the annotation is Nathan's though.
Bill has also threatened to give his own version of events on the website, so watch out for that.

Summer Cup - Some Round 1 Games

Nathan Rose has generously and entertainingly annotated his loss to Bill Forster for us here:

Here is Al Nicholls showing that he knows exactly what he is doing in the Scotch Gambit!

And finally, Beate's impressive near-win against veteran Don Stracy:

Top Line-Up for Summer Cup 2015!

Lovely to see all you all at the club last night!

Welcome back to top rated player Scott Wastney, playing in his first club tournament since 2013. Also, it's great that Ben Thomas has joined our Summer Cup, the first time he has joined one of our tournaments. So we have an incredibly distinguished field, the four top Wellington players and the top rated Upper Hutt player! Three out of the four Wellington players are the (joint) 2015 New Zealand champions, and the other one (Scott) was outright champion in 2013.

We also have the rest of us mere mortals playing, so if you still want to join the tournament, do not be intimidated!

As usual in the first round of a Swiss, the top half were playing the bottom, so the pairings were somewhat mismatched. That is not to say that the bottom half did not give the top half something to think about. In the end there was only one upset, with Don Stracy finally managing to salvage a draw against the much lower rated Beate Aumeier. I hope to publish a game or two later in the week. Here are the results, and provisional pairing for round 2 next week (subject to change at short notice).
